Title: Heterogeneous cobalt complex dyes, their production and use
Inventor: NEIER REINHARD
IPC: C09B45/20
Filed: 1965-09-28
Abstract: Heterogeneous cobalt complex dyes are prepared by treating a mixture of azo compounds containing groups capable of metal complex formation in substance or on the fibre with a cobalt-yielding agent at least one of the azo compounds being of the formula <FORM:1120411/C4-C5/1> in which the -SO3H group is in one of the 31, 41 or 51 positions and at least one other azo compound being of the formula <FORM:1120411/C4-C5/2> in which R is hydrogen, nitro, chlorine, bromine, low (C1-C4) molecular alkyl or alkoxy group, Y is -OH, -NH2 or -NHX, X is an aryl radical which may be substituted, Z is H, -CONH2 or -CONHX in such a manner that a heterogeneous cobalt complex dye is formed in which less than two cobalt atoms are bound with two azo compounds.  The dyes give violet-blue shades on wool, leather, silk and polyamide materials.ALSO:In dyeing Example C a lacquer solution is prepared with 20 parts of vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, 70 parts of methyl ethyl ketone and 10 parts ethylene glycol and 1/2 part of the cobalt complex dye as produced in Example 1, the whole being diluted with 25 parts of a methyl ethyl ketone-cyclohexanone mixture.  This lacquer is then cast on aluminium foil and air dried, a violet-blue shade being obtained.ALSO:In dyeing Example A wool and nylon are dyed at the boil with a heterogenous cobalt complex prepared as in Example 1.  A violet-blue shade is obtained.  Dyes may also be formed on the fibre in situ.

Title: Method and apparatus for painting
IPC: B05C5/00
Filed: 1960-12-05
Abstract: 973,492. Coating apparatus. GASWAY CORPORATION. Dec. 5,1960 [Dec. 4, 1959], No. 41770/60. Heading B2B. A method of painting objects comprises moving the objects along a predetermined path and continuously supplying paint at a uniform controlled rate to an elevated basin in a manner such that the upper surface of the paint in the basin remains smooth and such paint flows continuously by gravity from the top of the basin over a horizontal weir and pours downwards to the path in a uniform unbroken curtain which paints objects moving along the path. As shown, objects 24 are passed through a coating curtain 28 from an adjustable coating head 30 by a double conveyer belt 130 which is driven via driving roller 142 by a hydraulic motor 144 energized by fluid supplied under pressure by means of electric motor 147. The rate of movement of belt is controlled by control 148. The fluid discharged by motor 144 may be used to operate the driving motor 110 of the coating liquid supply pump 108, the speed of the motor 110 being controlled by control 113. The pump 108 forces liquid from reservoir 104 of the portable supply unit 106 through a flexible conduit 112 into a pipe 114 longitudinally extending through basin 32 into which liquid enters by means of longitudinally spaced apertures 116 on the underside of pipe 114. From the basin 32 the liquid flows over weir 34 and down the skirt 40 to provide a liquid curtain 28 which coats the objects 24, the width of the curtain being determined by end bars 64. Any excess liquid passes via a draining board into trough 92 which is suitably inclined to allow the liquid to return to the supply unit 106. To prevent disturbance of the liquid surface in basin 32 by the upward currents of entering liquid the communication between lower and upper regions of basin 32 is limited to a plurality of small openings formed by the interstices between threaded bars 126 and 128 which are in contact with side walls of basin 32 and inlet pipe 114. The apparatus may include in housing 160 a deaerating device consisting of a plurality of pyramidal baffles arranged so that liquid drains from each baffle on to the one immediately below. The baffles are alternately arranged to disperse and collect liquid.

Title: Control assembly for pneumatic or hydraulic pressure media
IPC: F01L23/00
Filed: 1977-10-10
Abstract: The piston/cylinder unit has at least one dynamic-pressure nozzle (11) intended for the reversal of the pressurising in the end position of the piston and attached externally to the cylinder. By means of the dynamic-pressure nozzle (11), the consumption of control medium is substantially reduced, yet high operating reliability is guaranteed, because the control medium is already in the flowing state at the moment of reversal. The dynamic-pressure nozzle (11) contains a connection opening (14) for an uninterrupted flow of control medium, an orifice (17), a connection opening (15), connected to the orifice, for the control or return flow, and at least one closure piece (61) for closing the orifice, which closure piece (61) is arranged at one end at the piston rod. In addition, the dynamic-pressure nozzle (11) has a sealing element (37) which can be actuated by the closure piece (61) and is allocated to a connecting opening (34) between pressure-connection opening (14) and orifice (17) or control-connection opening (15). Directly after the sealing element (37) has cleared the connecting opening under the action of the closure piece (61), the closure piece (61) closes the orifice. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 1283122 Cement manufacture NIRO ATOMIZER AB 4 Sept 1970 [10 Sept 1969] 42591/70 Heading C1H The alkali content of cement can be reduced by heat exchanging spray dried cement slurry with kiln exhaust gas only to a degree that the gas does not fall below 750 C., whilst the spray dried material rises to at least 550 C., the gas being subsequently used as the drier in the spray drying when it is further cooled to at least 300 C. In operation, spray dried material enters the throat 3 of an ejector 2 through a pipe 4 and is carried through a pipe 5 acting as a heat exchanger by gases from the kiln 1. The material passes to a cyclone 6 the solids passing through a gate 17 to a pipe 16 thence back to the kiln. Meanwhile the gases traverse a pipe 7 to the spray drier 9.

Title: Process for measuring small amounts of low boiling liquefied gases
IPC: B65B31/00
Filed: 1976-10-14
Abstract: When a gas atmosphere consisting of a low-boiling gas is to be generated in vessels, this can be carried out by metering a specific quantity of the liquefied low-boiling gas into the vessels and by closing the vessels before the complete evaporation of the liquefied gas. The particular metered quantity of liquefied gas must be adhered to very closely, since, when the metered quantity is too large, an inadmissibly high pressure builds up in the vessels after closing. This presents serious difficulties, since, as a result of the incidence of heat, changing quantities of the low-boiling liquefied gas to be metered already evaporate in the feedline. In order to avoid these inaccuracies, an absorbent body of specific size is saturated with the low-boiling liquefied gas and is introduced into the vessel.
